"By continuing to hawk 'The Secret,' a mishmash of offensive self-help cliches, Oprah Winfrey is squandering her goodwill and influence, and preaching to the world that mammon is queen." ⇒

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
Oprah is so out of touch with the real world that she actually believes her own hype….and why wouldn’t she? She’s been told for well over a decade by her lackeys, hangers on, and suburban housewives that she’s America’s moral compass.
She’s been spouting unrealistic pseudo-new age garbage for a long time, and has been validated by millions of people who don’t want to think for themselves, and are more than happy to let her tell them what they should think.
I heard her say once that she didn’t believe in “luck” which is an incredibly arrogant thing to say, considering it is luck that puts you in places where you can take advantage of a situation to it’s fullest…and we all know that being in the right place at the right time is everything.
Oprah’s so lucky that she can afford to not believe in it.
